Won't happen, Argentina's claim to the islands is simply the fact that they're close, which means we need to reignite our claim to the French state, and that they held the islands about 180 years ago. Seeming to ignore the only reason Britain took control was because Argentina ignored the deal struck with the British and consequently ignored all formal protests.
Nothing will happen from this, the UN can't really do much without the security councils backing of which the UK is a permanent member so really it could veto most of the measures taken against it and Argentina is unlikely to go to war yet again as the current government is just whiny, not the Military Junta of 1982.

Chavez has warned that if there was another war 'Argentina wouldn't be alone this time'.
Which seems irresponsible as Argentina doesn't want a war, and that no one gives a **** about Venezuela.

Really? I never realized...
They don't, war is a very, very far removed possibility.
That said the war didn't really create that debt, that was already there, the war was meant to take peoples minds off existing problems.

The first inhabitants of the Falklands were Brits. The population there has never sought to gain independence which of course if they wished to do so, they would be given the full support of the British government the same as any other British overseas territory. Argentina must be pretty stupid to think that the British would just let go of territory, especially one that might contain enough oil to pay off the national debt. Personally I think they should just shut the **** up.
Fun fact about the Falklands War:
The Gurkhas were deployed to the Falklands during the 1982 conflict. Despite having to deal with a completely foreign climate, landscape and the Antarctic weather, the Gurkhas were well up for a fight; only to be disappointed when the Argentine units they were to face surrendered when they learned it was the Gurkhas coming for them.
